shoes are held from rotation and RS the Wheel.

A dog 15 is pivotally supported by the flange 9 and'located'with respect to a screw 11 that it may enter the groove 12 in the screw which will hold the screw from untlirning. A spring it holds the dog in engagement with the screw. This arrange epecificetien of Letters Estent.
